Which is better for treating nail fungus: lamisol cream, lamisol liquid drops, or lamisol liquid nail brush?

Oral lamisil (terbinafine): Is much better than any you listed.

Depends on nail: a thick nail responds better to oral antifungal. A thinner discolored nail may respond to topical antifungal solution. Creams have not been shown to effectively penetrate the nail plate
